Lay Open the Envelope

One thing as one shan't e'er do
To see only flesh as fair beauty
Open this the envelope of me
Experience more than you could see
'Tis all I would ask of you

Sagaciously see orb of gaiety
And fathom some intimate mystery
Witness within the lee of me
This envelope that is for thee
Yet not for all the world to see

In this envelope seek a multitude of things
As shy erudite wisdom is burning bright
That would for thee as ochroid word would sing
Long and true into the depths of night
See then what this envelope would bring

That this envelope would envelop thought
Of what confidence might be sought
Of what indeed this envelope brought
Once now that your attention is caught
Indeed, 'tis so, t'would it be your lot

To envelop the envelope that carries me
In these words you solitarily see

Sunshine - your beauty is the envelope of you, and when it is opened every day...

When the envelope is opened it will reveal a priceless treasure within. Magnificent. **big hugs**

What a wonderful write..it reminds me of a rose bud, opening slowly, revealing a bit more beauty the more as it reaches to the sun...very nice job, Sunshine

I love these lines, Sunshine. *S* The flavor of the past suits this poem well... a great way to start a new year. *S* Well done!

(smiles) Such intimate surreal beauty fills these lovely words, sweet friend, I too envisioned this envelope of hidden beauty like a rose too! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so mcuh, sweet friend, you always unveil such magic! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

you envelop me
your energy gives me glow
I reflect your warmth
love cannot live without you
without you I cannot shine

Let thy moon arise.  William Blake
